Introduction

Bytom (Poland)

Beuthen (Germany)

50 kms south of Czechochowa,

157.8 miles SW of Warsaw

Beuthen
, Upper Silesia, Germany, now
Bytom
, Poland, had
over 3,500 Jewish inhabitants prior to World War II.
Many fled, but nearly a thousand Jews were deported to unspecified
destinations in May and June 1942.

The following list, probably prepared originally by the Gestapo in 1942,
consists of the family and given names of 982 deportees as well as the
page and line numbers the names appear in the original address.
No further information on these individuals is given in the original
material, other than street which has not been computerized.

Researchers seeking further information on individuals, such as
date and place of birth, may wish to use
the May 1939 census for Beuthen, which can be ordered from the LDS
Family History Centers.

The material is currently available at Yad Vashem and the United States
Holocaust Memorial Museum (Microfiche RG-15.030*01).
